  • yep that a plan....I was eating about 1100 and went up to 1300 and lost alot its nice to see the number on the scale go down again. I went for 3 mo before I got the hang of eating more. I only lost 1lbs in that time. So just try it for a week or two and see if it helps.
  • I'd love to join in! I have a wedding in August (and my bday too!!), and I'd love to look REALLY good for it!! I have a little more weight to lose than a lot of you though..

    I also found since I upped my calories I am losing more weight. Brown rice is higher in calories and only has 2 grams of fat per 1 cup cooked!

  • Hey if I can do this so can you!!!! I know you will do just fine...
  • Im hoping to make my final goal by the 4th I'll be seeing my brother in law thats off in the military and he hasnt seen me since I weighed 163, Im hoping he'll notice,, everyone else I know sees me everyday so they dont see as much of a change.
  • Oooooo, sounds great! I'm in. Now I just have to think of what my goal will be....
  • Hi Everyone!! I just joined this board today - but I've been working on losing since Oct last year (I started at 200).

    Anyways, I have a mini goal of 15 lbs lost by the beginning of July - so when I saw your thread I thought, Yeaaah!!

    I'm definitely losing the weight for ME, but it just so happens there is a special guy coming back to town in July... Of course, I want to knock his SOCKS OFF - and, more importantly, I want to extra degree of security and confidence that'll come with losing 15lbs...

    I'm using what I learned on the South Beach (3 months, Oct - Dec), and then counting calories... Trying to stay between 1200 and 1700 calories per day. Also, I do Spinning 3 x's a week.
  • Welcome to all you new chicks

    Ok ladies wake up! Get your butts out of bed! Get moveing! Burn some caks!

    We have goals to make!!!!!!!

    I think I am down but will not post it till Sunday.
    Is someone going to keep a running total like the April 1 thread? I love seeing how much we lose as a group. You got to love seeing the over 300lbs we lost.....I want to keep that going.
  • Morning Leigh congrats on the drop even if it is not official yet.

    I am going to peek at the scale today. I ate 1300 calories yesterday and included more calcium and 196 ounces of water. I 'm hoping to see a change. I am going away this weekend so eating right tomorrow may be a struggle. Wish me Luck!

  • Hi,
    I am new to this group. I have a total of 95 lbs. to loose. How much should I try to loose by July 4th. My 22nd anniversary is July 11th. So, I would like to look slimmer and feel better by than. Also, where do you find the weight scales. They are too cute!!
  • Just click on my tracker...It will take you there.
    I am only setting small goals....they are easer to make.

    Good luck Nikki

    I usually try for one pound a week. That's how i set my goal for July 4th.

    Okay, my official weigh in day is on Friday's. So, for this challenge, I am down 2 pounds!! I feel like I am off at a running start. Sure hope i can keep up this rate. I could be at my final goal in no time if I could keep up a 2 pound a week loss.
  • Yay! Lumifan.. 2 pounds.. Congrats
  • WTG Lumifan! 2 lbs is great! Keep it up!!
